Question Number 40818 by Necxx last updated on 27/Jul/18

Two large parallel metal plates carrying  opposite charges are seperated by a  distance of 0.2m,and the potential  difference between them is 0.5KV.  (a)Calculate the magnitude of the  uniform electric field between them.  (b)Also calculate the workdone by  this field on a charge of 4.0×10^(−9) C  when it moves from the plate of  higher potential to that of lower  potential.

E=(V/d)=((0.5×10^3 )/(0.2))=2.5×10^3   W=qV=4.0×10^(−9) ×0.5×10^3 =2.0×10^(−6)

$${E}=\frac{{V}}{{d}}=\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${W}={qV}=\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{0}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{9}} ×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{0}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{6}} \\ $$
